No sleep, long walks, dust storms and 2009 top hits. Some say it wasn't worth it to visit because of the heavy traffic and the limited parking space the organizers allotted but what's to lose when you have good company and a sick view?

We arrived at Clark at 3am with an empty stomach, our minds and hearts were set to eat at Jollibee, only to find out that it was at the other side of the highway, ended up in 7/11 and with 3 cups of hot chocolate.

I got lost midway through the entrance although the stampede wasn't as worse as I expected. There wasn't much to see at first, since some of the balloons were already flying when we got to the entrance. The pit was crowded with food stalls and picnic mats. Eventually, we ended up in a kite flying spot. 

The main event was fine, stayed for a couple of hours and waited for the traffic to die down. Took a couple of snaps in the middle of the field, chased landing airplanes and picked withered flowers. Thank you, Creative Social Magazine for the company and to Sace Natividad for recovering my photos.
